From Trebaseleghe to the world: the Sacchetto winery and its Fili line
The Sacchetto winery has its origins in Trebaseleghe, a municipality in the province of Padua on the edge of the classic Prosecco zone in the Veneto. Founded in 1920, it is now managed by Filiberto Sacchetto together with his children Paolo and Beatrice — three generations who are responsible for all steps from the vine to the sealed carton themselves. From this family business comes Fili, a line that bundles the spirit of the Veneto in uncomplicated, sparkling wines. The name is no coincidence: it sounds like "Fili" as a short form for Filiberto, thus anchoring the wines directly in the family heritage of the house.
Sustainable viticulture in the alluvial soils of the Treviso plain
The vineyards for the Fili line are located in the Treviso area, where the Glera vine takes root in alluvial soils along the Piave catchment area. These shallow alluvial soils ensure natural yield regulation and emphasize the varietal fruit of the Glera. Sacchetto manages the sites sustainably — in 2022, the winery received the Equalitas certification, which summarizes social, ecological, and economic sustainability standards: biodiversity, carbon footprint, and water consumption are evaluated just as much as cultivation practices in the vineyard.
In the cellar, Sacchetto relies on temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which protects the fresh fruit profile of the Glera. For the Fili Frizzante wines, the second fermentation follows the Charmat method in pressure tanks; the perlage remains fine and even, the wine lively without appearing coarse. Before bottling, the Prosecco matures for a while in steel tanks to stabilize freshness and structure.
Fili: Glera in its various characters
Under the brand name Fili, Sacchetto bundles several Prosecco characters: from Vino Frizzante DOC to Extra Dry and Brut, to a Rosé made from Glera and Pinot Nero. What all wines have in common is the 100 percent Glera base from the Prosecco DOC area and a clear aromatic profile. In the glass, the Fili Vino Frizzante Prosecco DOC shows a bright straw yellow, fine persistent perlage, and a nose of apple, white peach, apricot, and jasmine. On the palate, it remains light-footed, with an invigorating acidity structure and a subtle residual sugar of 12 g/l, which carries the fruit without saturating. The finish is fresh, short, and precise.
Ideally served at 6–8 °C as an aperitif, with light appetizers, seafood, or a spicy goat cheese. Those who like it drier can reach for the Brut variant — those looking for structure and vintage character will find it in the Millesimato, which received 92 points from Falstaff in 2026.
